Great Spiritual ConversationThe interview sounds fabulous. I just listened to it and it's such a great, spiritual conversation to listen to. I also really like your intro song "Song of the soul".
Sexual abuseI have read St. Mary's Private Dancer, and while listening to this broadcast, I found the comments about the timing of the book and the public discourse 'on target'. There are times when subject matter that has lain submerged in darkness must explode onto the public forum. Various trigger events converge over a short time span so that first voice that speaks in protest gives permission to the many others that have been held back either by fear of recrimination, or by embedded social practices that are unjust. The hope of myself and others committed to accomplishing justice is that the current outburst of 'me too' testimonies will be enough to tip the balance of public understanding and anger to the point that the offensive 'good old boy' practices will be withered away.
gratitudeThanks so much for inviting me on your show. I love it that the edits almost make me seem like I don't talk too much. I am very grateful for having this opportunity to share some of my music and ideas.
thank youThis was such a beautiful interview, and my first time listening to your show. I not only enjoyed it but was deeply moved. With tears in my eyes, I say thank you so much.
Great Work!Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind and whose breath gives life to all the world— HEAR US! Please listen and support Northern Spirit Radio.
NSR equals pancakesSunday AM often has us having Sunday pancake breakfast to your program of the week. So you are forever associated with pancakes and that is good.
Your programs have been a godsend this year, and most have been broadcast at least once on WUML. To be able to present material that is positive and optimistic, among the many horrors that have passed as news this year, is a great comfort.
I'm particularly grateful to you for sharing the Paul Tinkerhess interview and the three songs, especialy the Quaker Waltz. Our Meeting needs a history song like that, though I'm not sure I'm the right one to write it. Our daughter, Iona, lives in Ann Arbor, working as a fiber artist and also for the University. She has not found a spiritual home in Ann Arbor Meeting, though she grew up as an active participant in New England Yearly Meeting and went to Earlham, but we were impressed with the supportive qualities of Ann Arbor Meeting when we have visited.
